May 2015 Paper Pumpkin Ideas!

This is early for me, but we have a major crafting garage sale next week and the pressure is on! I love pressure. It's fun to see how much I can accomplish when my to-do list is longer than normal. You should see the house, though. Boxes are piling up for the sale, so vacuuming will HAVE to wait. LOL

I'm sharing 1/2 of my May 2015 Paper Pumpkin projects today and the the other half next weekend (still have to edit that video and the photos).

Today's Birthday Bundle kit projects are:

A Project Life layout
A gift card holder (mini slider card)
A bag topper – great gift idea for a teacher
and…An alternate card idea with a z-fold

Be sure to watch the video for tips and ideas. Then check out the photos (so you can see the projects close up) AND scroll down to see the supply list for any extra products I used.

Make note that if you have not gotten Paper Pumpkin kits before and you like what you see, new subscribers get a super AWESOME deal if they sign up by June 10th (details in the video and at the bottom of this post).

Here is what the directions in this kit show to make…

Here is what I made with my kit instead. These are photos of each project that I demonstrated in my video.

Project Life layout…

I was excited to discover that the bag (after carefully taking it apart – that glue is strong! – and unfolding it) had perfect dimensions for gathering up my 4" x 6" and 3" x 4" pieces.

Gift card holder…

Thank you, Terri Gaines for sharing this fun idea. (And thank you again for the care package you sent me recently which included this adorable one on the left)!

Bag topper…

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine…" la la la la la

Alternate card idea…

Here is the flyer I shared on my video. It came in the kit advertising the 50% off deal. Notice this promo code is: SHARETHEFUN

Either one works. (I think Stampin' Up! has two codes so it can track who signed up based on seeing the flyer and who signed up based on demonstrators just sharing.) Click here to sign up for your new subscription. (Don't forget the code!)
